Tales Of The Red Panda: The Mind Master - Plot & Excerpts
He paced from one side of the room to the other and stopped briefly to stare at the telephone on the side table. “The police,” he thought. “I should… I should…” He sat down hard in a chair near the fireplace and took his head in his hands. What could he possibly tell the police? That he had reason to suspect the death of Martin Davies was no accident? The only support he had for that notion was the fact that Davies had been quite chummy with a certain mysterious traveler from the Orient ever since he and Ajay Shah had met in Blake’s own home. He had no proof of Shah’s involvement. No motive for the crime, beyond Davies’ wealth. But he had felt a sickness in his soul, growing since the day that a message had come from Joshua Cain, inviting him to make some easy money by vouching for the charming Mister Shah. Introducing him to his society friends at dinner. He had done favors for Cain before, of course. He did not know how the master fixer of crime had learned of the state of Blake’s finances, but there were certain little services Blake had been able to provide, and in so doing, had found the money needed to keep up appearances, if only barely.
